not really the dlink and net geear n rotuer they where giving as part of 50mb upgrades years ago are better than teh superhub, the superhub as wireless router is completlely utter rubbish, modem is on par with vmg300 but i sitll think the vmg300 is better less other crap in the modem to cause faults

Well one thing for certain is that the VMNG300 will never reappear as the future is with the Superhub as it alone has 8 downstreams and works in exactly the same way as the VMNG300 when in Modem Mode.

So if you VMNG300 dies the will only be one device to replace it and that is everyones favourite the Superhub, so cherish your old device while it still works.

trust me i am, hecne why witht he free upgrade ill insist on keepign the old modem even if it means i get a slower speed

i knew when virign annouced trials for the superhub being one week that that was the future because it cheapr for them i just wish they realise come tiem for the hardware replacement that will be require for 1gbit and above that they offer a modem only and no crapyp wireless built in when i have to use it i will eb doign extensive testing to make sure once in mdoem mode the wirelss is dead in fact ill probally turn off the broadcast ssid, then turn off wirelss then go onto mode mode to be extra safe

I am on 30Mb and have been since February without any issues but no one wants to hear that and considering that I am shortly to be made redundant by Virgin Media why would I not be telling the truth because if I had issues I would post my own thread about them, sadly though it continues to work as before.

well ill be honest i aint seen the recent firmware but when i had seen it was crap but eventally ill be moved over to it but froma networking background i think it crapo and you should never build the wirelss into the modem in my books its a security threat

Well any wireless could be a security threat then.

You do know what wireless security the is on the Superhub working in the Scottish call centre I presume, and that you should have a decent password as well regardless of what router you use.
